Message Queue Error: cannot find a formatter capable of reading message

Question

I\'m writing messages to a Message Queue in C# as follows:

queue.Send(new Message(\"message\"));

I\'m trying to read the messages as follow

Answer 1

Adding formatter solved my issue:

 public void ReceiveAsync<T>(MqReceived<T> mqReceived)
    {
        try
        {
            receiveEventHandler = (source, args) =>
            {
                var queue = (MessageQueue)source;
                using (Message msg = queue.EndPeek(args.AsyncResult))
                {
                    XmlMessageFormatter formatter = new XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[] { typeof(T) });
                    msg.Formatter = formatter;
                    queue.ReceiveById(msg.Id);
                    T tMsg = (T)msg.Body;
                    mqReceived(tMsg);

                }
                queue.BeginPeek();
            };

            messageQueu.PeekCompleted += receiveEventHandler;
            messageQueu.BeginPeek();

        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }

Or you can use

 message.Formatter =
     new System.Messaging.XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[1] { typeof(string) });

Answer 3

this works very fine:

static readonly XmlMessageFormatter f = new XmlMessageFormatter(new Type[] { typeof(String) });

private void Client()
{
    var messageQueue = new MessageQueue(@".\Private$\SomeTestName");

    foreach (Message message in messageQueue.GetAllMessages())
    {
        message.Formatter = f;
        Console.WriteLine(message.Body);
    }
    messageQueue.Purge();
}
